  READER    PAGES    AUTHOR    TITLE    DATE  
  Tony Pisarenkov    376    Alberto Moravia    Though I've seen the movie twice, reading the book reminded me how much I didn't remember about it. I initially had some misgivings about Moravia's style, but in the end it worked. The Conformist    11/1/2009  
  Steven Krise    292    Peter Ward    Ward challenges the Darwinian ''orthodoxy'' with his startling thesis that life on other planets may (or may not) use different chemistry from Earth life. Life As We Do Not Know It: The NASA Search for (and Synthesis of) Alien Life    10/29/2009  
  Steve Gadd    468    Thomas Hardy     The Return of the Native    10/27/2009  
  Steven Krise    273    Randy Penn    A fairly standard introduction to knots. It tries to go beyond just having diagrams showing you how to tie knots by having chapters on rope management, teaching knot tying, your continuing knot journey, but the author didn't really have enough material to support these additional chapters. So +5 for the idea, but -7 for the implementation. The Everything Knots Book    10/22/2009  
  Steve Gadd    224    P. G. Wodehouse     Right Ho, Jeeves    10/19/2009  
  Steve Gadd    224    John Steinbeck     Travels with Charley in Search of America    10/18/2009  
  Steven Krise    160    Stewart Reuben    A fairly standard poker text, except for the unique ''Try It Yourself'' section at the end of each chapter, which is a short graded quiz with rated answers in the back of the book. Starting Out in Poker    10/17/2009  
  Steven Krise    425    Richard Fortey    Fortey's thesis is (to paraphrase Dobzhansky) that nothing in geology makes sense except in light of plate tectonics. He then takes the reader on a tour of a dozen or so locations around the globe with various geological formations that either were pivotal in providing evidence for the theory or which finally made sense when explicated tectonically. Earth: An Intimate History    10/13/2009  
  Steve Gadd    288    Alex Kershaw     Escape from the Deep    10/9/2009  
  Steven Krise    106    Belinda Levez    Probably the lamest poker book I've ever read. This is what passes for good advice: develop a betting strategy that maximizes profit whilst minimizing loss (with no explanation of how to evaluate a strategy to see if it meets that criterion) or bluff but not too much because when people call your bluff you lose money. How to win at poker    10/8/2009
